Live Project

Mood board with adjusted hue and saturation 

Recently we have been working with the silk mill to create garments for their 200th anniversary! we each had to design 3 outfits and a show stopper and then they would pick the ones that fit the brief the most. After we got put into groups and and we had to create a colour scheme and theme to produce the three outfits, Me, Liz and Sam choose pink, blue and orange.. with a few other tones thrown in and a tribal theme (African and south American mix). Since my specialities is print i decided to get inspired by culture and art, contemporary and traditional, and come up with some wacky prints that really capture the colours of Africa and south America. We are still currently in the process of making these dress, I hope it all goes to plan...

sample print under illustration.

I have been experimenting with photo shop and layering illustrations. this was actually only by accident since the scanner wasn't big enough to fit the whole image on, i had to do it in sections. which then when put on to the canvas made an exaggerated shadow effect, allowing me to manipulate a contort her frame. I later adjusted the hue and colour balance, whilst giving a vibrant aesthetic, and then later on applying a frame!
